How Long Can I not Arrive Canada After being approved via Express Entry Program

[Davit Movsisyan]

Dear Friends,

I have one question for clarification. If I apply to Express Entry program and get selected and get all approvals afterwards within the timelines set and finally been granted Permanent Visa, how long Can I stay at my home country before my stay in Canada becomes mandatory? And Also how many days after receiving my permanent residence visa shall I visit to Canada? Thank You for Your clarification.

Assume you are getting an ITA so then you apply and wait for your COPR. It will give you a date where you must land in Canada to activate your PR. Then you need to maintain your PR.

If you are immigrating to Canada, you are not visiting. Read about PR status.
